Phys.org / How protein coatings influence nanoparticles' ability to avoid immune clearance and reach their destinations
Nanomedicine uses ultra-small particles to deliver drugs directly to the tissues and cells that need them, improving treatment effectiveness while reducing side effects. This approach underpins some clinically approved RNA-based ...
Medical Xpress / Mitochondrial DNA mutations from kidney stressors may help predict future organ decline
Kidney damage that seemingly heals appears to mutate the DNA in the mitochondria of kidney cells, making the organ less resilient to future stressors and reducing its function over time, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical ...
Medical Xpress / Nearly 70% of US adults meet new definition of obesity, study finds
The prevalence of obesity in the United States could rise sharply under a definition of obesity released earlier this year by the Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology Commission.
Phys.org / Captivity changes the gut bacteria of endangered pandas and bears
Whether we're talking about animals or humans, gut microbes are essential for health, metabolism and protecting against infection. While captivity is known to alter the gut microbiota of wildlife, the relative influence of ...
Phys.org / Observations inspect the nature of a newly discovered very faint X-ray transient
Using various space telescopes, an international team of astronomers have observed a newly detected very faint X-ray transient designated 4XMM J174610.7–290020. Results of the observational campaign, published October 2 ...
Medical Xpress / Medicaid for undocumented immigrants under 1% of spending, analysis reveals
Authors affiliated with Emory University, the Lown Institute, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, and Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health report that emergency Medicaid represented only a small share ...
Phys.org / Astronomers detect radio signals from a black hole tearing apart a star—outside a galactic center
An international team of astronomers has discovered the first tidal disruption event (TDE) producing bright radio emission outside the center of a galaxy. The findings are published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
Phys.org / Lab-boosted olfactory receptor reveals new insights about how our sense of smell works
Humans have about 400 odorant receptors (ORs), but scientists have had trouble finding ligands that match up with most of these ORs in lab settings—leaving them with a murky understanding of how certain smells are recognized ...
Medical Xpress / Collaboration leads to drug candidate for a hard-to-treat type of lung cancer
An alliance of scientists at the Broad Institute and Bayer Pharmaceuticals have developed a drug candidate, sevabertinib, that could be a new treatment for a group of lung cancer patients who have few options today.
Tech Xplore / Self-healing layer improves the safety and lifespan of all-solid-state lithium batteries
Scientists have come up with a new way to improve the safety and performance of all-solid-state lithium metal batteries (ASSLMBs), the next-generation energy source technology that is set to power everything from electric ...
Medical Xpress / Air pollution during pregnancy associated with slower brain maturation in newborns
A study published in Environment International concludes that air pollution during pregnancy is associated with slower brain maturation in newborns. It is the first study to analyze brain development within the first month ...
Phys.org / Could AI framework be the key to how collective cell intelligence works?
It has long been understood that groups of cells can perform complex tasks, such as navigating mazes or strategically colonizing new habitats, even though individual biological cells have only limited ability to respond to ...
